Before you begin
Internet calling
To make and receive Internet calls,
you must install software provided
on the enclosed CD-ROM (see page
9). You may also be required to
establish a Skype Out account to
make Internet calls to standard tele-
phones. There may be fees for this
service. For more information, please
visit www.skype.com.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates
with the maximum power allowed
by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Even so, this
handset and base can communicate
over only a certain distance —
which can vary with the locations of
the base and handset, the weather,
and the construction of your home
or office.

About Caller Identification
Caller ID with Call Waiting features
let you see who’s calling before you
answer the phone, even when
you’re on another call. (This feature
works only with standard calls, not
Internet calls, and requires services
provided by your local telephone
company.)
Contact your telephone service
provider if:
• You have both Caller ID and Call
Waiting, but as separate services
(you may need combined service)
• You have only Caller ID service,
or only Call Waiting service
• You don’t subscribe to any Caller
ID or Call Waiting services.
You can use this phone with regular
Caller ID service, and you can use its
other features without subscribing to
either Caller ID or combined Caller
ID with Call Waiting service. There
may be fees for these services, and
they may not be available in all areas.
Caller ID features will work only if
both you and the caller are in areas
offering Caller ID service, and if both
telephone companies use compati-
ble equipment.
See Caller ID Operation, beginning
on page 22, for more details about
how these features work.

You can use SkypeOut or your standard telephone
line to call numbers entered in your phonebook. Just
make sure each number is entered as it will be dialed
(that is, include the area code and “1” prefix if
required). The telephone will insert a “+” prefix to
the number if you use SkpeOut to call a standard
phone number.
NNoottee::To make Internet calls to standard telephone
numbers, you must establish a Skype Out account
(see page 4). For information on placing SkypeOut
calls to international numbers, see page 27.
Timeouts and error messages
If you pause for too long while making an entry, the
procedure will time out and you will have to begin
again.

How Caller ID works
If you subscribe to Caller ID service provided by
your local phone company, information about each
caller will be displayed after the first or second ring.
Calls received by all handsets are stored in a shared
call log that can store 50 entries. You can review the
log to find out who has called, return the call with-
out dialing, or copy the caller’s name and number
into your phonebook.
After the call log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to

Adding new handsets
Your telephone can accommodate up to 4 cordless
handsets. You can add new handsets (sold separately)
at any time.
Before using a new handset, you must first install and
charge the batteries for 15 hours (see page 7).
After the batteries are fully charged, place the hand-
set in the tteelleepphhoonnee bbaassee(not the charger that came
with your new handset).
In about 60 seconds the handset should beep, and

range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an
upper floor.
• If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at
least 15 seconds.
• Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded tele-
phone. If calls are still not clear, the problem is probably in your
wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.

8 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not install this product
where the cord may be stepped on or tripped over.
9 Never push objects of any kind into this product through slots in the base or
handset as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the product.
10 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. It should
be opened only by technicians at an authorized service facility. Opening or
removing parts of the base or handset other than specified access doors may
expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Improper reassembly can
cause electric shock when the product is subsequently used.

service facility under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled onto the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instruc-
tions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instruc-
tions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
often requires extensive work by an authorized technician to restore the prod-
uct to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped and the base and/or handset has been
damaged.
• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13 Avoid using a telephone (other than cordless) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
14 Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Important safety instructions
WARNING: Put the handset of your telephone next to your ear only when it
is in normal talk mode (off-hook). There is a potential risk of hearing damage
or loss if the telephone were to ring while the handset is next to your ear.

FCC Part 15
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit
not expressly approved by the party responsi-
ble for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
The equipment has been tested and found to
comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable pro-
tection against harmful interference in a resi-
dential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try and correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet or on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
FCC and ACTA Information
If this equipment was approved for connec-
tion to the telephone network prior to July 23,
2001, it complies with Part 68 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) rules. If
the equipment was approved after that date,
it complies with the Part 68 rules and with
Technical Requirements for Connection of
Equipment to the Telephone Network adopted
by the Administrative Council for Terminal
Attachments (ACTA). We are required to pro-
vide you with the following information.
1. Product identifier and REN information
The label on the back or bottom of this equip-
ment contains, among other things, an identi-
fier indicating product approval and the
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN). This infor-
mation must be provided to your local tele-
phone company upon request. For equipment
approved prior to July 23, 2001, the product
identifier is preceded by the phrase “FCC Reg
No.” and the REN is listed separately. For
equipment approved after that date, the prod-
uct identifier is preceded by “US” and a colon
(:), and the REN is encoded in the product
identifier without a decimal point as the sixth
and seventh characters following the colon.
For example, the product identifier
US:AAAEQ03T123XYZ would indicate a REN
of 0.3.
The REN is used to determine how many
devices you may connect to your telephone
line and still have them ring when you are
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of
all RENs should be five (5.0) or less. For more
information, please contact your local tele-
phone company.
FCC, ACTA and IC regulations
2. Connection and use with the nation-
wide telephone network
The plug and jack used to connect this equip-
ment to the premises wiring and the tele-
phone network must comply with the applica-
ble Part 68 rules and technical requirements
adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone
cord and modular plug is provided with this
product. It is designed to be connected to a
compatible modular jack that is also compli-
ant. An RJ11 jack should normally be used for
connecting to a single line and an RJ14 jack
for two lines. See Installation Instructions in
this user’s manual. This equipment may not
be used with Coin Telephone Lines or with
Party Lines. [Connection to Party Line service
is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service com-
mission or corporation commission for infor-
mation.] If you have specially wired alarm dial-
ing equipment connected to your telephone
line, ensure the connection of this equipment
does not disable your alarm equipment. If you
have questions about what will disable alarm
equipment, consult your telephone company
or a qualified installer.
3. Repair instructions
If this equipment is malfunctioning, it must be
unplugged from the modular jack until the
problem has been corrected. Repairs to this
telephone equipment can only be made by
the manufacturer or its authorized agents. For
repair procedures, follow the instructions out-
lined under the Limited Warranty.
4. Rights of the telephone company
If this equipment is causing harm to the tele-
phone network, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your telephone ser-
vice. The telephone company is required to
notify you before interrupting service. If
advance notice is not practical, you will be
notified as soon as possible. You will be given
the opportunity to correct the problem and
the telephone company is required to inform
you of your right to file a complaint with the
FCC. Your telephone company may make
changes in its facilities, equipment, operation,
or procedures that could affect the proper
functioning of this product. The telephone
company is required to notify you if such
changes are planned.
5. Hearing aid compatibility
If this product is equipped with a corded or
cordless handset, it is hearing aid compatible.
6. Programming/testing of emergency
numbers
If this product has memory dialing locations,
you may choose to store police, fire depart-
ment and emergency medical service tele-
phone numbers in these locations. If you do,
please keep three things in mind:
a. We recommend that you also write the tele-
phone number on the directory card, so that
you can still dial the emergency number man-
ually if the memory dialing feature doesn’t
work.
b. This feature is provided only as a conve-
nience, and the manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for customer reliance upon the
memory feature.
c. Testing the emergency telephone numbers
you have stored is not recommended.
However, if you do make a call to an emer-
gency number:
• You must remain on the line and briefly
explain the reason for the call before hanging
up.
• Programming/testing of emergency num-
bers should be performed during off-peak
hours, such as in the early morning or late
evening, when the emergency services tend
to be less busy.
7. Electrical safety advisory
It is advisable to install a safety approved AC
surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this
device is connected. This is to avoid equip-
ment damage by local lightning strikes or
other electrical surges.

registration was performed based on a
Declaration of Conformity indicating that
Industry Canada technical specifications were
met. It does not imply that Industry Canada
approved the equipment.
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number
(REN) for this terminal equipment is 0.7. The
REN assigned to each terminal equipment
provides an indication of the maximum num-
ber of terminals allowed to be connected to a
telephone interface. The termination on an
interface may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers
of all the devices does not exceed five.
Before installing this equipment, users should
ensure that it is permissible to be connected
to the facilities of the local telecommunica-
tions company. The equipment must also be
installed using an acceptable method of con-
nection. The customer should be aware that
compliance with the above conditions may
not prevent degradation of services in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be
made by an authorized Canadian mainte-
nance facility designated by the Supplier. Any
repairs or alterations made by the user to this
equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may
give the telecommunications company cause
to request the user to disconnect the equip-
ment.
Users should ensure for their own protection
that the electrical ground connections of the
power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are
connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
Caution:
Users should not attempt to make such con-
nections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electrical inspection authority or
electrician as appropriate.
Your Cordless Phone is designed to operate
at the maximum power allowed by the FCC
and IC. This means your Handset and Base
Unit can communicate only over a certain dis-
tance — which will depend on the location of
the base unit and handset, weather, and the
construction and layout of your home or
office.
